Starting today, Knights and Squires will investigate the lots, and will issue tickets to those motorists who park in .the lot entrances and aisles.
Complaints have come in constantly to the effect that students who arrive late in the jnorning find the parking lots full and park directly in the exits, thus blocking all traffic from leaving the lots.
Bob Packard, clerk in the School of Law, declared that parking is especially erratic in the lot behind Bridge hall. At times the confusion is so great in that vicinity that drivers who wish to leave at noon find themselves trapped in the lot and are forced to push automobiles around to extricate themselves.
“We are trying our best to see that some order is maintained in parking at SC,” stated Forward. “Besides, every cent that we collect in fines will be used to provide a scholarship for some worthy student at this university.” Funds collected in the drive will be turned over to the university scholarship committee for use by an SC student next fall.

Ullman produced the hit play, “Men in White.” He is also an expert mountain climber which gives his book an air of reality. An article on his mountain
climbing activities recently appeared in Life magazine.
Discussing the reason he had been chosen to review this particular book, Dr. Greever accredited it to the fact that he also is a mountain climber. He gave the audience a very interesting account of some of his own experiences in mountain climbing.
In speaking of a 14,000 foot climb he took up Longs Peak in Colorado one year. Dr. Greever said, “I, another man, and a mule made the trip; or if you rather. I, another mule, and a man.” With this note of humor, he began on the book.
